wall_rus....below is something you said with which i must disagree...

Capitalism is designed to protect those with the capital.



I do not at all believe that....as a matter of fact I believe the opposite....I see capitalism as "freedom"...

I would concur, however, that we could perceive your statement as the case because of all the political shenanigans and self serving interests....but, I feel that is more rightly viewed as part of the human psyche....i.e. greed.....not a system design.

whether, we are socialist, capitalists or anything in between....human nature and our lust for power and wealth will always be the "spoiler" in any economic system we discuss....

it's as simple as defining communism as "everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others"....thereby alluding to the idea that someone must be in charge of the allocation to the masses....and, that implies a class system....and, a class system suggests some will get more than others...

human greed is almost an unsolvable problem whose ultimate solution relies upon the experience of social evolution....a very slow process.
